The Temple of Bastet The scent of heady incense is the first thing to hit your senses when you enter the temple to the cat goddess Bastet. Large, decorated pillars line the main room stretching to the ceiling high above which is also elaborately painted with hieroglyphic images of Bastet with many cats.
On pillows around the temple cats of varying types lounge about, some scamper and play chasing the myriad of cat toys that litter the floor. Golden bowls filled to the brim with the choicest treats are laid out for them. In the middle of the expansive temple room is an indoors fountain painted with images of cats, but instead of water it is magically enchanted to spray forth fresh cream from the mouths of bas relief cat heads.
At the back of the temple room stands a gigantic, golden statue of Bastet herself in her human bodied and cat headed form. The many light sconces and lamp lights nearly dance their radiance upon her.
Posted clearly were the rules of the Temple.Rules of the Temple~ Be kind to the cats ~ Keep yourself under control.

 Sahret: Ii-wy em Hotep. Welcome friends to the temple of Bastet. *she eyed the prospects, sizing them up for the fight* This is the fourteenth year of ritual combat to join the ranks of the warrior priestesses. We honor Bastet's more ferocious side in her battle against Set. If you have fought me in combat for three years in a row, show me proof of your devotion and I shall make you a masked priestess due to your tenacity. Determination makes for a great warrior. ((Ie. if you have participated in the contest for three years in a row, including this one, you may PM PookaWitch with proof of your entries with links to pages with their first combat entry. (Not just signing up, the sphinx has to be there for at least the first round of the combat) they will gain the job upgrade to priestess of Bastet.)) Contest to become a Masked PriestessOOC: How the game will go. Basically each round of combat will be played much like 'rock-paper-scissors' but will instead be 'swat-claw-rake' swat = rock (beats rake)
claw = paper (beats swat)
rake = scissors (beats claw)
tie = Sahret winsI will use the dice roller to see which option Sahret uses. All of the entrants who are still standing will attack Sahret at once. When Sahret gives the word to attack her, you have 5 minutes to post your attack choice in bold. If you don't post by that time you are out. RP descriptions of the sphinx's attack is cool, but not necessary. The winners of the first round will be able to face Sahret into the second round... but then a new trick will be added. She's not going to take it so easy on you the second time around. Winners of the second round get to enter the third round, etc. Entrants....
Kahris (sanguine dragon) Bentres (phoenix stardancer) Layla (Sio) Nile (Cameron) Ixtab (Dementia) Masika (Toxi) Sadeh (Operetta) Thana (Rayvin) Shizuka (Kaats) Meryaten (Hotaru) Nena (wolfrysk) |

 Releve walks in with her kitties following and takes a seat on the pillows to enjoy some cream "good luck this year to any who try to join our sisterhood." |

 Masika made her way to the temple. It had been a couple of years since she last attempted to join the ranks of the masked priestesses. But maybe.. just maybe she could be successful this year?? |

 Wanders into the Temple looking around. She finds herself a quiet corner to watch the others and decide if she was going to tryout or not. Could be fun. |

 Halima lays down on the mountain of cushions and pillows, a flop that was almost unceremonious. She had been witnessing these events for the better part of 10+ years now, and as a senior Priestess was more happy being comfortable than being poised. "Sahret never fails to entertain us. Good luck!" |

"Ii-wy em hotep, welcome to the temple of Bastet. I see faces, new and old, who wish to face the trial to become a masked priestess of Bastet. This will be the 14th year that I've held these trials and it pleases Bastet's warrior side to see those who even attempt to join her devoted ranks."
"For those of you who wish to face the combat trial to become a warrior priestess of Bastet step forward and proclaim "I am here to earn my mask." " (in bold)
Sahret looks over the hopefully priestesses and smiles a bit behind her mask.
"You have one hour to dedicate yourself to the trial. After that time we shall begin.

 Kahris quietly steps up before confidently declaring: "I am here to earn my mask." |

Bentres stretched out and stepped forward. She had so much to do, but this was at the top of her list "I am here to earn my mask."
